Comment on 4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!)
lvxferre@mander.xyz 3 months agoYou’re exemplifying OP’s #1 and #2: a black person, who’s in a position to know what people will/won’t take offence with (since she’s a mod), is using the terms whitelist/blacklist, and telling you “it’s fine”.
But you’re still trying to argue it on hypothetical grounds? Shut up and listen to her dammit.

She must be a god not a mod to know what all people take offence with, so what kind of argument is that supposed to be?
And I am allowed to express my opinion, with I did in a civilized manner. So you can take your “Shut up and listen to her dammit.”, shove it up your ass and fuck off.

Nobody here is omniscient nor implied to, it’s just that she’s in a considerably better position to know what should be offensive than either of us, as both part of the relevant community (black people) and someone dealing with people all the time.
I could turn your argument against you and say that, just like you feel entitled to express your “excuuuse me black people, you might be ignorant on what other black people should feel offended with, so let me drag down this discussion with this cacophony of hypotheticals”, I’m also allowed to express my own.
I won’t though - go read the text in the OP and you’ll notice why I chose those specific words, even if they sound rude.
